Would Eddie Hearn offer Luis Ortiz that April 13, 2019 date if Wilder turns it down?

Let's say he renegotiates the contract for much less money with the exact same terms he's offering Deontay Wilder. Do you believe he would offer it to "King Kong" Luis Ortiz?

Possibly. But thats a extremely dangerous fight for Team Joshua. For very little reward as well.

No because a Whyte fight would make a lot more money and is a more credible opponent having beaten better opposition.

[famicommander]

Dillian Whyte or Tyson Fury (right now, anyway) are easier fights for more money.

Luis Ortiz is high risk, low reward.

[juggernaut666]

Ortiz isnt ranked outside the WBC to allow Joshua to take such a fight ?

I think Hearn would target someone else. Ortiz is seen as Wilder leftovers, and doesn't bring much $$. Whyte rematch makes decent $. If Fury can get in shape, they can target him.. Although Fury is a more dangerous fight than the rest.

[STREET CLEANER]

They already have AJ's fights lined up. It will be that CW, Fury, Whyte, Chisora, etc.

So are you saying that a Wilder fight would make less money than a Whyte fight? If so then why does Eddie Hearn wants a Wilder vs Joshua fight then?

[champion4ever]

Possibly. But thats a extremely dangerous fight for Team Joshua. For very little reward as well.

How could you say that when Joshua is guaranteed close to $25mil a fight?

[Prince Madison]

No cause Ortiz has no career momentum, isn't a draw and let's face it despite what people might say they will give Joshua zero credit if he beats him, will say he was 'never the same' after wilder beat him , which is what they also use when Crawford's best opponents lose
